Reel pipes
(Redirected from Reelpipes)
Reel pipes (also known as a half set, kitchen or parlour pipes) are a type of bagpipe originating in England and Scotland. These pipes are generally a scaled-down version of the large Great Highland pipes. Reel pipes are generally quieter than the Great Highland pipes, so suitable for indoor play.
The reelpipes have a conical bore (similar to the Great Highland pipes or Border pipes, unlike the Scottish smallpipe's parallel bore), and are generally pitched in the key of A[1] or Bb.
